popping in with suntan and a cold beer

where have i been? i've been on summer break of course! i fully intended on making a "recap of my year" post but when vacation hit i abandoned all things teacher. my apologies.

i got my tentative schedule for next year in the mail and i suppose that means that summer is closer to being over than it is to beginning. i'm not sad to realize that actually because my summer has been crazy and sad. work keeps me busy and makes me feel like a productive member of society.

for the most part my schedule looks fine. the one big surpirise is that instead of teaching 3 resource + 1 life skills + 1 reading i'm teaching 4 resource and 1 self-contained ED. still teaching LA in everything. i know why it happened and i could have predicted it but i was still a little surprised. i'm totally up for it though. i love the kids in that room!

just today i picked up you gotta be the book (author not on the top of my head) and i'm quite enjoying it. anything to figure out how to get the kids to acually like to read and want to read.

okay, back to vacation. i'll be back with more planning talk later.
